Confessions of an Oceanic Crust

aDarkerMind



confessions of an oceanic crust

mafic rocks now scissors for our irons second guess

each strand of hair from all to here and then

for second son of heights the middle aged,

a secret sea of testament through the whale-bone to the ark

miracles less commonplace

than pearls that flounder sea-weed in the belly of a shark.

 

a bending of the eye each dead of night

what cannot see has safer hands than we?

each fish of knaves more sensitive 

than our vanity suggests.

He himself must surely have regrets!

 

two of each to the secrets of the edge

one by one as angels soar 

half-way space to promise on a pledge

what cannot suck has safer mouths than we?

 

confessions of an ordinary day

light for light; dark to semicolon;

a finger-full of notes in a sectioned brain.

a digger deep will find you where I am

to second guess each strand of hair

pulling heart and headstone

through a vein of stubborn blue.

light for light; a dark to somewhere new;

        Pizza will do the trick and as for the poem, it's all within but on the page so you win as you always do my dear friend. 🌹

        Tremendous work. Reminds me of Leonard Cohen.
